When people think of Taiwan’s tech industry, semiconductors and hardware manufacturing usually dominate the conversation. However, at COMPUTEX 2026, a new wave of technological innovation is taking center stage. What could become Taiwan’s next global advantage beyond chips?
In this COMPUTEX Special, we take an exclusive look inside the InnoVEX Taiwan Pavilion, where the SME and Startup Administration (SMESA) has brought together 33 elite startup teams reshaping biotech, AI healthcare, ESG sustainability, and robotics.
We are joined by GJ Lee, Director General of SMESA, along with on-site tech walkthroughs to look at how Taiwan is preparing its next generation of tech innovation and helping these teams scale from local breakthroughs to international commercial adoption.
KEY HIGHLIGHTS:
THE EVOLUTION OF AI HEALTHCARE
Taiwan has a legendary reputation for blending world-class medical talent with engineering. We look at the top startup teams solving the toughest challenge in healthcare tech: moving from a great prototype to global commercialization.
THE HUGE BUSINESS POTENTIAL OF ESG
What started as international compliance pressure has turned into a massive business opportunity. Discover how Taiwanese startups are using design and deep tech to reimagine renewable energy and green sustainability.
